Hey, Mayberry Friends. Whats the real story? In at least two episodes Andy's
hand and arm are in a cast. What really happened?

Hi Larry,
Here it is, straight from the FAQ section of our sister site:

Hope this helps,

I've always wondered is what happened to Andy's hand where it was seriously
bandaged for at least 2 shows? On one show he explained it away as having a
"tussle" with a couple of prisoners?
This sort of thing is right up my alley! The bandaged hand appeared in two
consecutive episodes, #55 Aunt Bee the Warden and #56 The County Nurse. Andy
Taylor explained it as the result of a difficulty in apprehending the 4 Gordon
boys, but what had really happened was that in a fit of rage, Andy Griffith had
punched his fist through a wall in his home. It was pretty easy for the writers
to work it into the script, since Andy was a lawman who conceivably might have
had to "put up his dukes" every now and then. --answer by Paul Mulik
